March Break Camps 2025: March 10-14
Registration for March Break 2025 is open! Spaces Limited - Register Online Now
It was my son’s first time at camp (he’s 4.5 years old). He absolutely loved it and was a little sad it was over. I loved that they challenged him. Every day was an activity that incorporated art, music, movement, and fun. The teachers were AWESOME and the location is so welcoming. We can’t wait to return next summer. Highly recommended!
My son attended his first day camp last week (July 2018) at Oak Learners. To say he loved it would be an understatement. They built a fun soap volcano, saw caterpillars and watched them eat and grow, and even managed a visit to a splash pad. They did many arts and crafts projects which are now displayed at home. Thank you to Theresa, Emma, Lucia, and of course Kelly for a great week! I’ve already registered my son for another two sessions!
March Break is awesome at Oak Learners!
